Looks a good player for you today played well defensively and went well going forward

I hope he get's a game against Leigh to further prove his worth to the squad.

Lauaki played well considering when he was at fc he didn't look interested as did flower and dudson can see you in top 2 again

Considering O'Loughlin, Hock or Fielden were not involved - it was a very impressive Wigan pack display, we have a ton of options in the forwards. Thats what I take out of today. But I think Rovers held their own in that battle the majority of the game. It was a good forwards contest I thought - helped by Bentham who reffed well and let the game flow!

What did you think of Gelling then? Will he make the centre spot his own?

Going by the fact Tomkins was there last year and did well for you, Goulding had a solid game but I think gelling when played more matches will be a smart signing

Apart from calling knock-ons when the ball went backwards (for both teams) and waving play on when the ball was clearly knocked on. still, some things never change

Solid. I don't think he was tested too much. He Looks the part physically. But the key for him is whether he can find the right pass at the right time, be able to defend solidily and defend kicks. Hard to judge someones mental ability on one game. He didn't look out of place though.

I was impressed with Gelling.

He was strong and made one particular long rampaging break, bouncing Hull defenders off whilst showing agility for a big lad. Though he seemed generally fit, he just seemed as though he needed more match fitness which is to be expected.

I thought Finch was a bit hit & miss so he didn't get brilliant, consistent service in what was quite a flat back line when attacking. With the addition of Tommy and Sam linking up from the back, this will add depth and enable Gelling more time with ball in hand.

I think it's essential that he plays in the remaining friendlies to adapt to Super League and match fitness.

Not sure who it was that Webster gave a good hit, thought it might have been Gelling? Whoever it was I am sure they won't be thanking the person who passed it to them, Webster had so much time to line him up!!

Now its just a shame Gelling is having trouble to get to training on time and today he didnt bother to turn up at all

Didnt turn up to training i was told , very reliable source

if this is true then he should be worried not us as Shaun Wane does not strike me as the type of person who will put up with this type of attitude.

Either way I find it difficult to believe that Wane would reward him with a start even in a friendly if he was struggling to turn up for training on time.
